CVE-2025-47975
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDouble free in Windows SSDP Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA double-free memory corruption vulnerability in the Windows SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) service allows a locally authenticated attacker to corrupt memory references and potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine Windows version and build numberOpen Command Prompt or PowerShell and run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"' to obtain the full version and build number.Affected if The build number falls below any of these thresholds: 10240.21073 (1507), 14393.8246 (1607), 17763.7558 (1809), 19044.6093 (21h2), 19045.6093 (22h2), 22621.5624 (11 22h2), 22631.5624 (11 23h2), 26100.4652 (11 24h2)
-
Verify SSDP service statusOpen Services console (services.msc) or run 'Get-Service SSDP*' in PowerShell to check if the SSDP Discovery service is installed and its current state (Running/Stopped).Affected if The SSDP Discovery service is present and currently running on the system.
-
Confirm service is set to startRun 'Get-Service SSDP* | Select-Object Name,StartType,Status' in PowerShell or check the service properties in services.msc to see the startup type configuration.Affected if The SSDP Discovery service is set to Automatic or Manual startup, meaning it could be running or could be started.
-
Check for CVE-2025-47975 security updateOpen Settings > Windows Update > View update history, or run 'Get-HotFix | Where-Object {$_.Description -like "Security Update"} | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending | Select-Object -First 10' to list recent security patches.Affected if The specific security update addressing CVE-2025-47975 is not listed among installed updates.
A system is affected if it runs a Windows version with a build number below the thresholds listed AND has the SSDP Discovery service enabled or running.
